Weak Bullish Reversal Candlestick Patterns

There are many weak bullish reversal candlestick patterns, including the “Belt Hold”, the “Gravestone Doji”, the “Inverted Hammer” and the “Tweezers Bottom”. Although there are multiple weak bullish reversal candlestick patterns, these are the more important ones to know, understand and recognize.

The Belt Hold is a simple one-day reversal pattern. The pattern occurs during a downward trend.

Typically, the candlestick has no upper shadow (or wick), though it might have a short one in some cases.

The second day comprises of the Gravestone Doji itself. The Doji’s opening and closing prices are identical to each other, however, the Doji’s upper shadow is well into the first candlestick’s body. The Doji tends not to have a lower shadow, though on the odd occasion it might. If the Doji does have a lower shadow, it will typically be very short.

The Inverted Hammer is a simple two-day reversal pattern. Following a previously established downward trend, the first day’s candlestick is dark and closes near the low of the day, at the lower trading range. The second day’s candlestick also trades at the lower trading range. This candlestick can be dark or light, with opening and closing prices resting closely to each other. The second day’s candlestick has an upper shadow that is twice as long as its body, at least. However, it typically does not have a lower shadow, though sometimes it might have a short one.

The Tweezers Bottom is a simple two-day reversal pattern. The pattern follows a previously established downward trend, with the first day’s candlestick being dark. The first candlestick of the Tweezers Bottom, has no lower shadow at all. The second day is comprised of either a light Hammer or Doji.

In conclusion, there are multiple weak bullish reversal candlestick patterns to remember, the main ones being the Belt Hold, the Gravestone Doji, the Inverted Hammer and the Tweezers Bottom.
